Shims Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra, 2009 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2009 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

IMPORTANT:

The original cast iron production shims can be removed and re-used. If the cast iron shims show signs of excessive wear or damage, they must be replaced with service shims and spacers.
If service shims were previously installed, the shims can be reused.

Inspect the shims for cracks and chips. Replace the damaged shims.
